The sophistication and diversification of mission equipment for surveillance and reconnaissance is leading to a demand for large-capacity public data links. Overseas, a T4 class(274Mbps) common data link was applied to the Global hwak, a high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle, and various research and development are being conducted in Korea. In this paper, we propose a structure in which pilot is additionally applied to improve SNR performance while minimizing data transmission rate loss in the DVB-S2 frame structure, which is a european satellite broadcasting standard, for high-capacity transmission of T4 class or higher in the common data link. For the performance evaluation of the proposed structure, the performance of the DVB-S2 was compared and analyzed by simulating the UAV data link channel environment. As a result of simulation, 0.15% of transmission rate loss occurred at T4 class transmission rate compared to DVB-S2 in the proposed structure, but improved SNR reception performance of 0.2~0.3dB was confirmed in the UAV channel environment.

In order to performing the joint operation of Korean army efficiently, informations about surveillance, reconnaissance, and situation awareness need to be possessed jointly. In the first development phase (basis type) of the Korean joint tactical data link system (JTDLS-K), essential tactical information and recognized situation are owned among platforms in common by using existing wireless terminals. In the second development phase (completion type) of the JTDLS-K, a JTDLS which can perform network centric warfare (NCW) will be developed in due consideration of technology development of the basis type and common technology maturity degree. This is a joint battlefield system that can show fighting power simultaneous and polysynthetically through providing command and control messages effectively to each platform, which is participating in the joint and combined operations. In this paper, the development of JTDLS-K with a common data processor based on common link integration processing (CLIP) is described. From the test results of the system presented in this paper, it is demonstrated that quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) signals can be applied to the system.

In this paper, we predicted the propagation loss for the air-to-ground (A2G) channel between the ground control system and the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using the prediction model for the aircraft recommended by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). We analyzed the network coverage of the aerial relay system based on the medium altitude UAVs by expanding it into the air-to-air (A2A) channel. Climate and geographic factors in Korea were used to predict propagation loss due to atmospheres. We used the measured data published by the Telecommunication Technology Association (TTA) for regional rainfall-rate and effective earth radius factors to increase accuracy. In addition, the aerial relay communication system used the key parameter of the common data link (CDL) system developed in Korea recently. Prediction results show that the network coverage of the aerial relay system broadens at higher altitude.

In engineering design environment it is hard to link design data and system because the types of them are disparate. Therefore, the importance of metadata has increased. Some researches have been executed to develop metadata. But they cannot interact with other metadata and are difficult to extend. The purpose of this paper is to develop a common metadata structure which represents the general information of mechanical part assembly using XML, and to use it as base documents in order to integrate design data and systems. It is composed of part and assembly documents. Part document represents the information of a part independently to part type. Assembly document represents the location of part documents which compose an assembly. Common documents can be used as a broker between design data and systems and improve interpretability and reusability of document. We applied the developed common document structure to 2-stage spur gear drive.

For wireless multimedia sensor network (WMSN), it is crucial to select appropriate channels to deliver multimedia data stream generated by image and voice sensors periodically or continuously. Although most of previous researches assume that fixed channels are used for wireless sensor networks, they causes limit to support various application areas. In this paper, we apply link-setup algorithms developed for wireless cognitive radio networks for searching common channels between two nodes without common control channels. We also show the algorithm causes serious performance degradation as the total number of used channels increases, and then propose a new link-setup algorithm to resolve the problem. Therefore, the proposed algorithm shows 30 % higher performance compared to existing algorithms.

Recently, it is reported that the Korean Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) interface protocol (K-4586) based on STANAG-4586 is being developed to secure interoperability between UAVs. The core elements of the K-4586-based Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) are the Core UAV Control System (CUCS), Vehicle Specific Module (VSM), Data Link Interface (DLI), and C4I systems. In UAS based on K-4586, the DLI function for transmitting and receiving messages to link UAVs is included in VSM and CUCS respectively. The Generator/Analyzer (G/A) tool is an apparatus that is developed for protocol conformance verification for VSM and CUCS, and G/A tools with DLI message transmitting and receiving should be developed separately. Core applications (VSM, CUCS, DLI) and G/A tools based on K-4586 may be developed independently depending on the developers. If the DLI message modules are different for each developer, the scope and results of protocol conformance verification will be dissimilar, and some problems may happen during system integration. In this study, common DLI message module based on the API was designed to provide the DLI message transmitting and receiving function necessary to the development of core applications and the protocol conformance verification tool of based on K-4586. When applying the proposed common DLI message module, it can be expected to shorten the UAS system development period and reduce costs, and ensure conformance of protocol. In this paper, the design and implementation method for the common DLI message module based on API was proposed and the results of functional test was described.
